Would something single sign on (SSO) even be possible? I think the convenience of having a single account for the family of federated platforms would be wildly convenient.

Of course folks could continue to have individual accounts on each platform if they wanted.

I also understand that it would create a very tempting target for hackers and it would need to use MFA (multi factor authentication).

Just a thought and I would like to see you all have to say.

Asking after having this discussion.

      It’s not just two, it’s two “big” ones and a bunch of eg. neo-Nazi ones, Lemmygrad, spammers and so on. I vaguely remember there being some sort of blocklist that a lot of the instances use, but don’t quote me on that.

      Lemmy’s vanilla UI has the list of connected and blocked instances under /instances, so eg. https://beehaw.org/instances
